| Creation of the Internet |
Dr. Lawrence Roberts started the prototype Internet, the ARPANET, in 1969. His vision was to link all of the computers so that we'd all be able to get at anything without having to have compatibility with the other computer and be able to get all the knowledge instantly across the world. This change, which has occurred over the past 30 years, is in part a massive and evolutionary change in computer technology, and in part a modest and revolutionary change in communications technology. The revolution in communications started with an experiment in computer networking, the ARPANET, and grew into a communications revolution called packet switching. Today virtually all the world is linked by packet switched communications service so that any terminal can access almost any computer in the world. Dr. Roberts will be able to share his vision of global IP networks and why, as usage of the Internet and its attached networks explodes, technical issues related to packet based data traffic management are central to the future of numerous publicly traded carriers and vendor equipment companies.
